There are a lot of circumstances that lead to a failed season. No doubt, the coaching is one aspect that needs improving, but it's not the sole reason, just as injuries have played their part but are not the reason the team appears to be underperforming.

There really is a fine line between success & failure. Coaching, injuries, and perhaps one of the most important reasons, the deterioration of the quality of play from some of the older guys who used to be our 'dominant' guys- Hampton, Harrison, Keisel- while the younger guys have not stepped up their game to compensate.

If it only takes a missed block, a missed tackle, or a dropped ball to change the outcome of a game- it's a difficult feat to overcome even 1 of the factors Chadman listed above, let alone all 3.

12 Wins? Ummm... we have 7. I'm not.talking about Tomlins career or legacy, I'm talking about THIS year.

But Steelers ownership looks at things that way...we've had bad years before with both Noll & Cowher, Tomlin will be here a long time.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

I'm a Tomlin fan... criticizing him or holding him accountable doesn't mean I want him fired. All I want is for this team to figure out how to dominate a bad team.

I really will not consider SD a bad team Hell they have won 6 games one less than the cowboys,bengals ,steelers etc like I said they lose by 7 or less and their defense played great against a predictable offense. I have blamed Haley twice this year Denver, Kansas City and you can add today for a dumb game plan.

I blame Haley too... his game plan is too short IMO. A freaking bubble screen inside the 10.
